What motivates you? How do we understand what drives the decisions we make about money? Psychotherapist Amanda van Noppen is back on the show to discuss how values play a role in motivating how we connect to others and money. Episode #420 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb” explores the values behind the financial goals that are made and encourages listeners to be aware of why they are pursuing certain financial goals. 

“Values are not goals or objectives that we can achieve,” explains Amanada. “Values are deeper, more connected to us that continue throughout our life. They are something that is a consistent part of us that develops throughout our entire life.”
